weird ppp issues - semaphore and no pppd?

I am having really weird issues with all my modems - i have used slmodem with both slamr and alsa and a regular hardware modem.

When I try to connect i get pretty much the same behaviour

1st connect - no connect
2nd connect - no carrier
3rd - expect :ogin
4th - expect :assword
5th - expect :otocol
6th - i start to get errors:

Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
In parent: pppd pid 5052
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Opener: received KillPPPDaemon
In killpppd(): Sending SIGTERM to 5052
It was pppd that died
pppd exited with return value 5
Sending 4608 a SIGUSR1
